I come to Hopkins (from Florida) for work on occasion and make it a point to stop by here for coffee (and sometimes more). Slightly eclectic throw-back vibe, very friendly service, excellent espresso beverages, and a nice assortment of creative wraps and sandwiches (alongside other food items). It's a nice place to spend an hour or two catching up on emails, though it can be busy (and a bit noisy) at certain times of the day. Parking is easy, with a dedicated lot out back and free two-hour street parking out front. One random noteworthy thing is that they have the nicest take-out coffee cups I've seen anywhere (see photo), with a sturdy design that makes it a pleasure to hold while also providing extra insulation. It's a small thing, but it's actually the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Munkabeans! read more

Located in downtown Hopkins. This cozy coffee shop is well known in the area by locals and coffee goers. Surprisingly this was my first time coming here. When I entered inside, not a whole lot customers inside but I came in the early afternoon. Baristas were helpful. Prices were reasonable on the menu and they had your standard typical coffee drinks with flavored syrups if you like to add it. I asked the barista what his favorite drink was, and he recommended a honey latte with something else added into it that I forgot what it was. I decided to give it a try and it was pretty delicious. Sweet but not very sweet. Definitely tasted the honey. The quality of the drink was good, and service was quick. Lots of seating and local art. Nice place if you're in Hopkins read more

Delicious summer artichoke quiche! And a tasty oat milk latte. My friend had a scone and matcha latte and also enjoyed it all. Took a while to get our order, but understandable because it was absolutely packed this morning! We got the last two seats/counter stools in the whole place. The morning rush died down by the time we left for a calmer vibe. Would definitely come back. read more

I walked in Friday morning and was hit with the delicious smell of fresh banana bread. The atmosphere was busy and the chatter of other patrons filled in the space it was warm and welcoming and I definitely felt it. I ordered with ease since the menu was easy to read. I ordered a turkey and apple sandwich along with the drink of the month of August ( the mini donut latte ). After ordering I was worried if I would find seating inside but a table opened up before I even got my drink or sandwich. The apple and turkey sandwich was so damn delicious. The sweet and salty combo really worked well with the Swiss cheese and pumpernickel bread. I loved the mini donut latte it was not too sweet and gave me the kick I needed to start my morning off right. The staff were great you can tell they definitely have a good relationship with one another, there were people catching up with friends, studying or doing work. I also found this to be a good spot to sit back and read a good book, which I did. Although I had to turn up my headphones a bit I really had a wonderful time. This is such a great spot and I love how the community shows up. I cannot wait to visit more often. read more

Munkabeans is a fantastic local coffee shop! I've been there twice and have tried their iced latte and Charlotte's Web. Charlotte's web is a fall special with whipped cream and chocolate. The chocolate is drawn as a spiderweb. Plenty of space for working and free WiFi, both of which allowed me to knock out a few grad school essays. I haven't tried their food but I'm sure the food is just as great as the drinks. Service is friendly and I didn't have to wait too long for my drink, even though it was a bit crowded today. I'll be back soon! read more

I love the eclectic/nostalgic decor and furniture. I sat at a table that was like my grandmas 1950's kitchen table. This is one of the only places that had Mexican mocha's and I loved it! They made it extra spicy when I asked free of charge. I got the squash quiche which was delicious! Highly recommend giving them a try! read more

This is a cozy spot to grab a quick drink or sit and chill awhile--in fact, I visited on a dreadfully hot day and the Munkabeans a/c did its job! Several tables were occupied by groups and solo coffee sippers. Pleasant music played in the background. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Cold brew on ice hit the spot! Next time I'm in town I'll show up hungry & indulge in one of their good-looking bakery treats. read more

Cute cozy spot Downtown Hopkins, enjoyed a freshly made Breakfast Burrito. I would ask them to brown the burrito a little bit if you like it more crispy and firm to grip. I'll be doing that next time I order one. Lots of other freshly made items, baked goods, Lunch Items, plus the coffee selection. You can even purchase some coffee and others items to take home as well. They also offer catering. Next time I want to try their Quiche which they bragged about. Definitely need to check it out, if you've never been. Open since 1996 so a good staple of service for Hopkins. Follow me for more reviews and comment what I should try next. read more

Pros: Fun, local hipster coffee shop Loved the local art you can purchase Pastries and other sandwiches available Cons: Small space Parking can be a challenge Didn't like the compostable cups - the black stuff got all over my hands; appreciate the spirit of the effort though!

Ducked into Munkabeans for a bit while waiting for the shops on Main Street to open. I loved the art (for sale) covering the walls when you walk in! I ordered a matcha latte and a spinach and artichoke quiche. The quiche was SO DANG GOOD! They offered 6 different hot sauces with it as well, which was great for this spicy-lover. The latte was also tasty and not overly sweet, even with the vanilla syrup I added. It was refreshing after getting overly sweetened drinks at chain coffee shops. They have a great drink menu and variety of food (pastries/muffins and sandwiches). It also looks like they have a parking lot, which I didn't see when initially driving past. As with most cute independent owned coffee shops, it is a bit pricey but the cost is worth the taste! My only suggestion is to add more comfy seating. Aside from one set of couches, there wasn't very much soft seating. read more

If you're looking for a local coffee shop with character, excellent service, and hand-crafted food & drinks? Look no further. This place has everything: Coffee & non-coffee drinks, homemade food & sweets (their chocolate chip banana bread is phenomenal), and an ambiance that induces even the most pessimistic person to smile & enjoy their day. The locals know about this shop's magical charm, and are probably trying to keep it from you; that's how great this place is. I promise you - you won't regret stopping by. I mean have you heard the name? It's pretty crazy & wacky in itself - why not stop inside and give it a try! read more

My first order here was great, I was impressed and happy with my breakfast. The second order was less impressive, the sandwich was arrived smashed and a bit overcooked. This morning's sandwich arrived burnt black around the edges and instead of the cheese danish I ordered I received a cherry danish. I don't see anyway I can continue to support a business that delivers increasingly poor food. read more

I got the blue moon and it wasn't scorching hot when received which was nice i was able to enjoy it right away. i loved the subtle hint of lavender i was scared it was going to be too much but was the perfect amount. i would get this drink again. i got the munka muffin and didn't realize it was just an egg sandwich so i didn't eat much of it. i do want to come back and try other stuff like the buffalo quiche the ambience is a quirky indie spot. retro dinner seating with a couple couches. she cute. read more

Cute, quirky, unassuming coffee shop with food available and local art for sale. It's small and cozy, friendly service, and a good spot to work or chat. Coffee was good. Foodwise, I only tried the Cubano and it was okay- not stellar but nice to have food options available so I'm not just running on caffeine. read more

This is a super cute shop located on Main Street Hopkins. We stopped in on a Sunday mid morning and they weren't super busy but you could tell it's a local stop. They have a decent amount seating and you will need to find street parking. The staff was friendly and I love how they have cute merch items to purchase. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese croissant. The croissant was super buttery and perfectly flakey but stayed together. Overall a standard breakfast sandwich otherwise. I also had a honey spice latte with honey and caramel. I didn't taste a ton of caramel but the honey was noticeable. It was not overly sweet and I enjoyed it. They have both fresh made sandwiches or a pretty solid selection of pastries! If you are out and about in Hopkins I would suggest making a stop! read more

I stopped by for lunch on a Saturday (plenty of seating available) and was very pleasantly surprised. The chicken salad and funky chicken sandwiches are delicious, and I ended up having to try a cream cheese danish too because it looked so good. The Cinnabon latte and August Rush tea drinks were both very good as well, and service was fast and friendly. Would definitely come here again for a cute, casual snack or lunch! read more

Munkabeans - Cheese danish - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Hopkins, Minnesota

A couple of us got breakfast here earlier today, now we've both had diarrhea and I'm really nauseous. Someone also saw an employee kill a fruit fly with their hands directly above food being prepared. I told a friend who used to work there and she said it is not safe to eat the food here and she personally never would. I've gotten coffee and pastries here before and that seems fine, the food also tastes good don't get me wrong but it seems like they really need tighter food safety practices. read more

I love this place for coffee! Good value for an amazing quality espresso taste. I'm not usually one for a frappe, but for some reason I love them here! I think it's because you can actually taste the fresh espresso even in a blended drink. The baked goods are kind of underwhelming...most items look like Costco bakery to me. I've heard good things about their breakfast sandwiches though! My one disclaimer is not to come here when you're in a rush for coffee. In my experience, it's not quick service like Starbucks or Caribou would be. Which is fine, just prepare for it so you're not frustrated. On a weekday it could take up to 10 minutes for them to make my coffee. Overall: a good place with many seating options. It would be fun please to hang out and study at or get work done. Another cool mention - they sell local artwork! They occasionally (maybe monthly?) switch out the art on their walls with another local artist. All artwork is available for purchase. read more

I've been meaning to visit here since we moved to Hopkins! Our experience was good not great - here's the breakdown: LOVE: This is the main cafe option in Hopkins besides Cream and Amber, so it's a great local place to meet! My partner got a smoothie and really liked it. They have mixed seating options, from barstools to couches to tables of all sizes. I also love that they showcase and sell local art. We didn't get food, but a friend said they make a mean Cuban. LEAVE: Sadly, I got a really bland chai - so much so that I wondered if if was just warm oat milk. This seems to be a student hang out spot which is awesome, but I probably wouldn't choose this again as a meet-up spot after school hours because it gets busy and a little loud with schoolkids. This place plays an important part in the downtown Hopkins community! Just might not be my go-to. read more

Classic, sweet, cozy and eclectic. Such a nostalgic place too if you're a Stages Theatre kid or person.

I'll start by saying thank goodness this locally owned coffee shop is open before 7AM as that is no longer the norm and I had to really search for anything besides a chain in the SW suburbs. The place is quaint but kitschy with a lot of Knick knacks including the classic leg lamp from A Christmas Story. There were some locals chatting and several open places to sit varying from traditional diner chair to more comfy lounge options. I wasn't really greeted when I entered or even when ordering and the young woman working didn't make eye contact or add anything besides the required speaking which is fine for me but not oozing of friendly service. I had an oat milk latte with almond syrup. It was somehow bland, almost watered down tasting which can only come from weak espresso? Either way I wasn't super impressed. read more

Great service! I love the featured artists throughout the business. Just seems like a great spot to connect over coffee & a treat or sandwich. Has a homey, relaxed vibe. read more

Pleasantly surprised by how good this coffee was with doing no research before coming in!! They have a larger menu than a lot of cafes I've seen lately, with fun specialty mochas and drinks that made me want to go back to try more! We got a smoothie, two lattes and a breakfast sandwich. The coffee and smoothie was all very good, the sandwich egg was a little spongy, but a good size for the money. Loved my lavender vanilla latte!! Only wish I got a large instead of medium. They seem to be keeping as safe as possible during covid. They also sell local things like candles which was fun to browse while they made our drinks. Friendly staff! read more

Munkabeans...what a lovely little cafe! Yes, it's open and it's space is filled with retro decor! Since it is 2020 and we are in Pandemic times... seating is only open on the patio, but it's still really nice shaded seating area. Free parking in the back. They have innovative drink offerings thats local and organic. Since it was lunch time I opted out of coffee as I don't drink coffee after the AM or I'll have sleep problems...I ordered lunch the Pesto Provolone Grilled Cheese which was super yummy!

Finally had a reason to tour Hopkins and sought out Munkabeans downtown. The place was hopping on a weekday morning with work meetings, conversations those studying from devices, typical coffee shop style. There is a wide variety of food items made fresh and the chalk boards are filled with items. I worry when I see coffee in airpots but found it freshly made so points for that. I had my usual dark roast but found it more like a medium roast but certainly acceptable I just like a more roasty toasty blend but it apparently works for them. read more

This is the perfect little eclectic cafe on Mainstreet in Hopkins. The retro mis-matched tables add to the charm of local art hanging on the walls. I love everything about it. Perfect place to grab a cup of coffee and some tasty breads and muffins. I've also had a breakfast burrito and pesto sandwich and both tasty. It can get pretty loud in this little place, but it's a nice gem in Hopkins. read more
